This printer was launched in 2019 I was hoping their would be a few suppliers that have profiled it! Even the big boys like 3M, Avery, Etc. haven't released any. SC

Well it has taken me 14 years, but we have upgraded our old Valuejet 1604 to a New Xpertjet 1641SR. First impressions are, quieter, faster and print quality far outshine the old machine. Even though it is very very similair in many ways. The biggest issue I am having is access print profiles...

No one?

Has anyone any good or bad reviews on these plotters? Thanks SC

Yes you are correct. Once looking very very closely at the board their are four minute resistors on it next to the PF encoder plug one of them has blown. I think it is the one marked R270. Where can I get one of these? It looks way beyond my eyesight and soldering skills to fit it though! SC

Will a Valuejet 1614 motherboard run in a Valuejet 1604? I fitted a spare 1614 motherboard I have into our 1604 but it comes up with a E066Err PF Encoder fault. I have checked all the cables and everything is OK Once I swap back to the original 1604 it all works again. Is their something I can...

The network socket is faulty on my valuejet 1604. I have managed to get by over the last few years, but just lately the disconnections have become more frequent. I have sourced a similar socket, is this a simple job once the main board is removed? I also have a 1614 which has been butchered and...

Juaan I would replace the head cables first just in case something is causing a short. But be prepared to change the head fuse as it can blow. SC

That looks like a deffective print head or head cable. Sadly more than likely the print head. Ours did this and was covering everything in magenta when the head failed. SC

My 13 year old 1604 has had one damper in its very busy life. The tech that replaced the head 8 years ago (still a perfect nozzle test) insisted unless their was a problem on the dampers only replace when needed. I have found the best thing for these machines is to use them a lot. The more you...

I came back in to work on Sunday and had a bit further play with this. I had a spare set of print head cables and swapped them over. Once plugged in it comes up "058 head heat error". I then swapped out the print head with the spare that it came with. Which looks better than the one that is...

Still waiting on new head cables! I have changed the manifold on the print head as on removing the damper one broke of on the cyan. After unblocking the Black K line as it was solid where the needle goes into the cartridge and reseating the head so it sits correctly . At long last have it...

How does it come off as I have an old one? SC

I have removed the pipe work from my dampers on my new to me 1614. But on one of the dampers the plastic nipple came away from the manifold. Is their a way to repair this or replace the whole manifold? Thanks SC

Well I got this printer back to our workshop and I am stripping and cleaning it as it is in a horrific mess. The head lock electrical mechanism is siezed solid and on removing the awfully routed head cables they are definitley the issue with the head heat problem. Ordering some new ones as i...

Thanks all. Will get the machine back here (Which will be fun due to the Lock Down in the UK). I think the first thing to do is change the head cable and clean contacts of dried ink. Big issue here is the amount of time the machine has been inactive, as I have found this causes big issues. SC

Just about to buy a cheap VJ 1614 as a back up. The guy has already chucked a ton of money at it with motors, encoders, etc. But he says it comes up with a Printhead Heat Error. What could this be? I am guessing either a faulty head or head cable or maybe the head board, or all three. He does...

Brilliant I have spares so can replace O rings. The last technician I had to it reckoned only ever replace the dampers if they were failing. I hate touching this part of the print head as damaging it can render me completley out of action. SC

My old Mutoh 1604 has a problem. The Cyan ink lines drain back and have air in them when I caome in on a morning. Am I correct in assuming this is a damper problem and need replaced with the O rings? Or is this the internals of the head creating the problem? I am hoping to buy a new one in the...
